Having a problem with a Server 2012 R2 standalone DC.
It is able to resolve DNS for the domain PC’s, but it can’t resolve DNS for the server itself.
BPA reports 2 errors:
AD DS: The domain controller FBSERVER.. must be able to reach a DNS server and retrieve DNS records that are associated with this domain controller
DNS: Zone _msdcs.. is an Active Directory integrated DNS Zone and must be available.
DCDiag /test:DNS /v reports:
Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\FBSERVER
Starting test: Connectivity
* Active Directory LDAP Services Check
The host
ed7fe2ed-4fe2-4d5b-9f31-2ab3af7ceaa4._msdcs.<mydomain>.<mysite.org>
could not be resolved to an IP address. Check the DNS server, DHCP,
server name, etc.
Got error while checking LDAP and RPC connectivity. Please check your
firewall settings.
......................... FBSERVER failed test Connectivity
Below are the troubleshooting steps I’ve taken so far.
Nothing I do seems to work.
Please help.
Thanks.
Disabled the firewall (Symantec Endpoint Protection)
nltest /dsregdns
ipconfig /flushdns && ipconfig /registerdns
net stop netlogon && net start netlogon
Backup, delete, and restore the zone:
